Why should a person like this get appeals? Why do black taxpayers get to pay for the mercy granted to someone who deserves neither life nor a quick death? Appeals are for when there might be a mistake and we might be sentencing an innocent person. There’s proof beyond even beyond a reasonable doubt in this case.

    I feel like a captive bolt stunner would send the message home more.

    Too much cleanup. Human skulls are significantly weaker than a cow skull, you’d still get brains splattered everywhere with a device guaranteed to kill a human with a single blow, at which point you might as well use a gun. And if you’re not killing them in one blow, why not use something quicker? I also really doubt they’ll get the beast connection to any extent.

    If we’re concerned about cruelty, which to be fair, as supposedly people with higher moral standing than the people sentenced to death, we should, the long drop hanging method is tried and true for being a near instantaneous execution while still not being messy.

      They make non-penetrating ones and different models for different species with further specifying weight and age. One could most certainly be repurposed. However, if the risk of multiple shots required is too high, a penetrating one could be used. Reusable bolts and in the only autopsy I could find that involved a penetrating head shot was mostly contained by a grocery store plastic bag. http://epub.ub.uni-muenchen.de/7477/1/eisenmenger_wolfgang_7477.pdf

      Alot are glue eaters true ya got me there, but with how often they use dehumanizing language and get called dogs and pigs and the most prolific nazi killer’s most famous quote is referring to them as distinctly not men I feel like enough would get it. I’m mainly for it because not only of the whole humiliation angle but also for poetry of it all. The vestiges of the bourgeoisie’s jackbooted last resorts killed by a device wielded by communists, not for an attempt at catharsis via spectacle or sadism, but for a quicker and actually humane result than the Guillotine that was marketed as the Enlightened humane execution that was quick and for all strata of society (when in reality it was still used for spectacle, used by the bourgeoisie far more than the people, and left the victim either swiftly decapitated or hacked away like a dull ax of a feudal headsman). Feels like a nice bookend but maybe that’s the writer in me talking. As long as it’s done it’s fine
